40 Baby Boy and Girl Names Inspired By the Season Of Easter

Whether you intentionally choose a name for the meaning, or choose a name you like first, and then confirm the meaning, picking out baby names is one of the most fun, challenging, and exciting things you can do as a new parent-to-be. For both of our first two children we chose the names months in advance, and with our third we just couldn’t decide, and in fact, Hayden was baby boy H for the first 36 hours of his life! In the spirit of the upcoming Easter season, I compiled a list of boy and girl names inspired by the holiday. Including both spiritual and seasonal names, the list contains 40 names both common and uncommon!

Inspired By Easter

Click through for 40 boy and girl names all inspired by the Easter season.

Agnes

A rather uncommon name, Agnes derives from the Greek name Hagne, meaning holy or pure.

Andrew

Meaning manly and strong, Andrew is often thought of as an Easter inspired name because he was an apostle.

Angel

Spiritual messenger, Angel is easily an Easter inspired name because of the many references to angels in the story of Easter.

Asher

Of Hebrew origin, Asher means blessed, fortunate and/or happy. Asher is actually the name of one of my nephew’s as well, so it was interesting to learn the meaning of his name.

Attwell

Meaning, “lives by the spring”, Attwell is an English name and is often associated with Easter names because of the cleansing and renewing properties of spring water.

Avril

I think of the popular singer when I hear Avril, and now I know that it is of French origin and translates directly into April, the most common month that Easter lands in.

Bethany

Of Hebrew origin, Bethany is usually thought of as a spiritual name and was the town close to where Jesus ascended to heaven.

Blossom

Reminiscent of Spring and all the lovely flowers that blossom during the season of Easter.

Bunny

While not as common of a name anymore, I knew a couple of girls named Bunny growing up, and it’s relation to Easter and the Easter bunny is quite obvious.

Caldwell

Generally used as a boy’s name, Caldwell is of English origin and translates into “cold spring”.

Candy

Candy or any form of the name including Candace is often associated with Easter because of the baskets of Easter candy that the bunny rabbit hides on Easter morning.
